Martin XB-51 Flying Cigar
(this is a quick build, nothing fancy)
The Martin XB-51 was an American trijet ground-attack aircraft. It was designed in 1945 and made its maiden flight in 1949. It was originally designed as a bomber for the United States Army Air Forces under specification V-8237-1 and was designated XA-45. The "A" ground-attack classification was eliminated the next year, and the XB-51 designation was assigned instead. The requirement was for low-level bombing and close support. The XB-51 lost out in evaluation to the English Electric Canberra which - built by Martin - entered service as the Martin B-57 Canberra.

This is cute
change my mind
Thank you and very awesome!
This was a quick build so I never put all that in, I may make an updated version with all the cool stuff next week @ChiChiWerx
I myself built one of these in deep, dark ages past. Here, the charm of this build is the low part count and general fun-to-fly nature (better than my early attempt). This is great as the RL jet handled well and was fun to fly. The big miss, though, IMHO, is the lack of weapons. The RL jet had a rotary bomb bay (very cool) and 8 (EIGHT…!) 20 mm cannon. It would be just so much fun to shred the convoys with 8 cannons firing in a concentrated pattern!
this plane is actually realy fun to fly with
@ACEPILOT109 ok
You don’t wanna make planes with glass cockpit ?
